WASHINGTON1, TCov. 21. President
"Wilson today placed the government
again in control of the nation's food
supply by transferring the authority
of food administration to Attorney
General Palmer.
Removal of wartime functions of
Administrator Hoover resulted direct
ly from government efforts to avert a
famine in sugar, but the powers dele
gated to the head of the department
of Justice will be used also to help
put down the ever-mounting cost or
living.
For the present the attorney-general
will not put into operation all or
the machinery permitted under the
executive order, but should conditions
arise to make it necessary the full
pressure of all the broad power vested
in him will be exerted.
Hoarding to Be Blocked.
Mr. Palmer's staff will begin im
mediately to build up a sugar distri
bution tystem which will allocate all
sugar stocks in the country- It will
provide an equitable system of dis
tributing supplies and will defeat any
concentration or hoarding, officials
said.
Plans, tentatively decided upon, pro
vide for increasing the price of all
sugar excepting the Louisiana crop
for which a price of 17 cents already
has been fixed, to 12 cents a pound
wholesale.
Through this increase, new sources
of supply . are expected to be opened.
With assurance that a fair margin of
profit, said to be $1.54 a hundred
pounds, will be allowed, sugar re
finers are ready to enter the Cuban
markets and purchase all available
stocks, it was stated. Thus, officials
believe, the increasedsprice will avert
a shortage which threatens to become
a famine in 60 days.
Immediate action also is contem
plated in curtailing the consumption
of sugar by manufacturers whose
products are not regarded as essential
food. This will apply .particularly to
soft drink dealers and candy manu
facturers. The abnormal increase ot
sales of these articles and the conse
quent heavy drain on the sugar sup
plies is traceable, officials declared,
to the enforcement of prohibition.
While it has not been definitely
determined, the cut in sugar supplies
to these classes of trade probably
will be about 60 per cent. Officials
indicated that if the exigencies of the
situation demand, they would reduce
the allowance to soft drink and candy
plants to 25 per cent of their normal
requirements.
Arrangements have been completed,
subject tc changing conditions of the
si'gar situation, whereby beet and
csne sugar refiners will enter the
Cuban markets immediately. The de
partment, however. will exact a
ignea agreement with firms entering
that trade to consign all of their pur
chases to this country. This will
mean that American dealers will get
a large proportion of the 4,000.000
tons of raw- sugar yet available in
Cuba, officials said.
Normal Demand 4MKH),000 Tons.
Normal consumption of sugar in
the United States is about 4.000,000
tons. In other years about 3,000,000
tons was imported from the Cuban
fields, to which was added the average
production of approximately 1,000,000
tons or native-grown. But official,
were alarmed lest European dealers
should continue their heavy purchases,
already in excess of 1,000,000 ton
in Cuban markets, and deprive this
country of the full supply it usually
gets there. The refiners who have
agreed to go into the Cuban trade
have been urged, it was said, to use
all haste, that the stocks may not be
exhausted before this nation is sup
plied.
The danger of a sugar famine will
be greatest next month, it was said
as stocks are rapidly being depleted
and in many sections already ex
hausted, and the necessity for gar
Tiering all available supplies from
outside becomes daily more urgent.
Howard Figg, assistant to the at
torney-general in charge of food sales
distribution. has worked out plans for
carrying out the drastic regulations
proposed as soon as approval has been
had by the several government agen
cies which it will be necessary to
consult.

Necessity to Prove Reds Advocated
I. W. AV. Doctrine Criticised
by "Washington Official.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. Nov. 21- (Spe
cial.) In attempting prompt deporta
tion of alien members of the I. W. W.
following the Centraila murders of
four returned service men by 1. W. W.
conspiracy the state of Washington
has encountered refusal of the fed- i
eral Immigration department to at- I
tempt to, deport 13 out of 14 aliens
arrested at Centralia. unless the ,
state can prove that each of the alien
members actually preached I. W. W.
.propaganda. From this attitude
Attorney-General Thompson appealed
by wire tonight to Senator Miles
Poindexter including a warning that
public sentiment of this state has
reached the endurance limit in L VV.
W. activity. The situation is thus
presented to Senator Poindexter by
Attorney-General Thompson:
"On Armistice day at Centralia the
state arrested 14 alien members of
the I. W. W. I requested the immi
gration department to take the men
in custody under exparte bernat, 225
Federal 429. The department advises
Commissioner White at Seattle that
mere membership in the I. W. W. is
not ground for arrest for deportation,
but the state must prove that the
alien actually advocated the things
which the bernat case judicially de
clares L "W. W. advocate.
"The immigration -department de
clines to take any action in 13 of
these cases because the state can not
show actual propaganda carried on
by these men. If this is the proper
construction of the law, I would sug
gest that it be amended immediately.
"Public sentiment in Washington
will not indefinitely tolerate the con
tinued presence of alien members of
an organization which court records
throughout the nation show to be se
ditious. Take this up with other
Washington members in congress."

It was my understanding that the
state securities commission knew
about the resolution all the time," he
testified.
'Did you know that the decision of
May 31, 1918, by the commission al
lowing the Pan company to continue
the sale of stock was based on
agreement that Pandolfo was to get
only 5 per cent of the proceeds from

the armistice was signed. They
were brought to .British waters by
German crews and there turned over
to the United States navy, several of
the former German officers accom
panying the ships on their initial
trips under the American flag.
With the last of the American
troops home, it was generally under
stood that the ships would be turned
back to the inter-allied commission
and in anticipation of such action
more than 1500 British sailors were
brought to the United States by the
Cunard and other lines to man and
operate a portion of them.

recently been turned over to the
board by the war department.

Deputy Disarms Man Accused
Stealing Machine Revolver
Hidden Beneath Seat.
SAN JOSE. Cal., Nov. 1. Willi;
Condron, deputy sheriff, was shot and
seriously injured late today in
struggle with two men supposed to
be automobile thieves from San Fran
cisco d riving a car with the license
No. 20,500. Condron had boarded the
machine, put the pair under arrest
and was driving toward the county
jail when the man beside him in front
pulled a revolver from under the seat
and fired. Deputy Sheriff George
Wilson, in the back seat, disarmed
the man.
The prisoners gave their names as
Paul Freeman, age 23, Seattle, and
Frank McKean, age 20, Tacoma.
Wilson sa id the party was pro
ceeding to the jail, the alleged bandits
being handcuffed together. One of
them shouted "get him," WilBon said,
and Condron thinking this indicated
an attack on Wilson, turned his head.
Then one of the men, who already
had been searched, drew the weapon
from its hiding place and fired at
Condron, according to Wilson.
Wilson said he drew his own pistol
and was about to fire when Condron
said:
"Don't shoot."
This and the fact that the first shot
had attracted a number of children
from a near-by school playground,
whom he felt might have been in
jured, kept him from firing, Wilson
declared.
The automobile ran a block down
the street with no one at the wheel
after the shooting. The two men
were locked up.
